Achiga hen: Its not about winning, its about surviving
Saki: Its not winning the japanese way if you don't utterly destroy your opponents with a smile and a comment on how fun it was to play such wonderful opponents

After seeing the images, Toyone doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'll be sad if she doesn't advance

As for Achiga, I've said it in too many places but Kirame is a Goddess. She's trying her damndest to help people fight against Teru and its just too awesome. Toki and Senriyama are so close its sweet. Kuro best do something because she's been a disappointment so far.

Agreed, I haven't seen such strong bonds between a team since Ryuumonbuchi, and those are a certified family. No wonder Toki keeps fighting so hard T_T

And props to Kirame for her continuing role as the ultimate bro. If only I had an Iskandar approves image.

I was actually surprised they mentioned Kuro's silent role throughout the match, that's what I get for not studying mahjong 101. About Kuro's role as the key to salvation, I expressed my opinions before: As long it's left clear it was a team effort (i.e, Kuro not thinking it was just a miracle she pulled on her own) I will be satisfied, and seriously, she needs some redemption.

Meanwhile, on side B: Not so happy anymore, aren't we, Toyone? Wonder what Nodoka feels about The Beast finally awakening.

P.S: Those breasts are seriously disgusting now. There's Nodoka and then there's Cattleya, people. I can't believe we'll be seeing more of these walking blowdolls.

On the Achiga side: On the rules side, is there ANY way for the girls to end Teru's dealership? By Toki and Kirame's estimate, they only have two turns before Teru drives someone from the table. And damnit Kuro, DO something!

On the main-line side: What the HECK could have happened to trigger Saki's "Teru mode"?

Going back to the main manga ... if you remember, Saki first showed her "horns" (at least afaicr) when she said something like "I must meet my sister at the Nationals. Therefore, I will crush everyone in my way until then!" or something like that. THAT is the source of the serious facial expression that the poor Achiga girls walked into in Achiga-hen ch 3, and is the ultimate source of her going into ... hmm ... I dunno if it is right to call it "Teru mode" ... maybe "Miyanaga mode"?
